The game's emphasis on style, minimal combat, and quirky storytelling sets it apart, offering fresh competition in the genre.

Infinity Nikki, an open-world gacha game from Infold Games, delivers a refreshing take on the genre with its focus on fashion and minimal combat. The game's setting, Miraland, combines dress-up gameplay with exploration and storytelling where style is central to its fantasy world, challenging miHoYo's Genshin Impact with innovative elements.

Players explore six mini-regions filled with activities like whimsical bike rides and puzzles, while photo features enhance the immersive experience. Though the game suffers from some pre-launch bugs, such as character clipping and inconsistent stutters, it charms with its absurdity and light-hearted approach to gameplay.

Infinity Nikki's gacha system focuses on acquiring exclusive outfits rather than characters, though players earn many pieces for free by exploring. Despite high costs for premium outfits, the system doesn't hinder gameplay progression, allowing Infold Games to provide a vibrant alternative to existing gacha titles while keeping dress-up central to the experience.
